Its a terminal-based multifunction text editor

I think it is going to be advanced text editor which is extendable.

What Microsoft really lack is a decent text editor that can be run inside the four wall of the terminal console/Command Prompt. As sysadmin do more and more work using the terminal console, lack of an advanced text editor inside the four walls is becoming more and more a hindrance.

Like emacs, it will allow addition of extra capabilities : IDE-like if you are programming, text editing if you are working on text file and since it is a good idea, probably a way to connect/download and display html pages (as text pages).

It's a good idea. If my prediction is correct, then it means command line had not died but is experiencing a resurgence at Microsoft
